[Tubal pregnancy with fetus in situ in the 17th gestational week, a case report].

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a blastocyst implants outside the uterus cavity. It is a condition with increased morbidity and mortality for women in reproductive age. Most of the ectopic pregnancies (95.5%) are located in the fallopian tube. We report a case of an ectopic pregnancy that progressed unruptured and with fetus in situ up to 17 gestational weeks. This case is rare, especially in developed countries where patients have access to healthcare. With this case report we would like to emphasize that ectopic pregnancy should be among the differential diagnoses of abdominal pain even in the second trimester of pregnancy but also the importance of an early vaginal ultrasound examination in its diagnosis.
